Recovery Point of Charleston plans for Nov. 3 opening

The walls inside the former Mountaineer Gas building on Stockton Street have been painted in pastel pink and purple, bright blue and green. Beginning early next month, the 13,000-square-foot structure will serve as a 92-bed long-term treatment facility for women suffering substance abuse problems in the community.

Recovery Point of Charleston is scheduled to open Nov. 1, with a ribbon-cutting on Nov. 3.

The facility is the first of its kind for Charleston, said Matt Boggs, executive director of Recovery Point of West Virginia.
